Some of you may have seen an ad for a red '63 Stude Daytona R2 on Trovit and US Classifieds4All for $15,500.
I contacted the "seller" - a Richard Cooper responded with a story about working outside the US and therefore I needed to work through his "broker". Send the money to this broker who would hold it in escrow until I received the car (shipped at his expense) and was satisfied. I asked for broker info, VIN and title picture and asked to inspect the car. I was given a VIN (63R1422), told I had to buy it by 3/3 but refused any other info. Turns out there is no 63R1422 on record. (Would be an Avanti number not a Lark anyway).
I wonder if there is someone named Richard Cooper, what the VIN really is and who owns the car advertised.
Several years ago, someone advertised one of my cars for sale on ebay without my knowledge or permission so I wanted to get this out to everyone.
